I have a Q-35H engine that I'd like to install in a 4-foot cabin
cruiser, under construction at the moment. However, when I bought the
engine from Tower Hobbies some years ago, they didn't sell any of the

I am building the Dumas 1930 Chris Craft.  I have not been able to
find any sites regarding the building/operating of this kit.  Does

I intend to fit a speed 700 with Robbe 35mm prop, direct drive on cells ...

This is the first time I have been to this newsgroup.  What are the rules
regarding mentioning ("advertising") of RC-related services?  I don't want
to offend anyone.
Regards,

Can anyone give me a source for crew figures for a tugboat in 1/40 scale?

Thanks for any help.

I am looking for the lines of any of the more recent 12 meter boats. Does
anyone know of a source for these. I have written to S&S but haven't
received a reply. Any other ideas or sources
My search is to build a scale model of the class, not a full size boat.

I need to mount a Malabuchi 550 in a tugboat. I am looking for

Please excuse the multi-post, but it's a multi-group question: has
anyone else had  less-than-sparkling quality control issues with
MegaTech products, especially recently? Out of the last three MegaTech
items I've sold (two Helichoppers and a Capitol Flyer), all three were

I am looking for the December 2003 issue of Radio Control boat
modeler.  I will pay full price for the magazine if someone is able to
help me out.  Especially if you are from Canada.  Please advise.

I am building a Starlet 36. The plans call for self steering, I want to make
it RC. My question is how to rig the sails, what radio, what servo's, and
